Chapter 1271 Youngster, Times Have Changed!
While Maéll was doubting his life, in the venue a few corridors away, remote projections of Super-A Grade members were descending onto their seats, chatting in twos and threes.
"Another welcoming party today? I remember the last newcomer was Aurora, only about half a year ago."
"Has anyone else felt that the frequency of Super-A Grade births seems to have increased more than before in recent decades?"
"Indeed. I remember a long time ago, it was good to have three or four Super-A Grades born in a few decades. But recently, eight Super-A Grades have been born in the last few decades. Although this kind of thing has a lot of randomness, it can also prove that the era is progressing."
"That's right, the population base of interstellar society is increasing exponentially, and research on the superpower system in the universe is becoming more and more complete. The seeds of Super-A Grades have also accumulated to the critical point. Under the influence of various factors, I think there will be a period of explosive growth of new Super-A Grades."
Before the meeting started, the usual practice was for members to exchange pleasantries. Everyone chatted casually, creating a lively scene.
Han Xiao's projection sat in the main seat, smiling and watching this harmonious scene.
Looking at the unknowing expressions on everyone's faces, the corners of Han Xiao's mouth curled up... These people didn't know that a major event that would subvert the structure of the universe was about to happen here today.
Just then, someone suddenly brought the topic to Han Xiao.
"I received a warning from the Glorious Federation a few days ago, strictly prohibiting me from continuing to spread Ultimate Knowledge privately. Your Excellency Black Star, are you aware of this?"
Hearing this, many people immediately echoed, saying that they had also received warnings from the three major civilizations, and they all looked at Han Xiao.
Han Xiao glanced at the direct descendants of the three major civilizations beside him and nodded, "I had a conversation with the leaders of the three major civilizations not long ago. They hope that I will rectify this situation and eliminate the chaos of privately spreading Ultimate Knowledge."
"What was your answer?" Manison asked lightly from the side.
"The three major civilizations maintain the order of interstellar society. I will cooperate with their work as much as possible without affecting the operation of the association," Han Xiao said with a smile, using empty official words.
Manison snorted softly. He knew that with Han Xiao's slickness, he would not clearly refuse the three major civilizations. The most likely thing was to maneuver around and agree verbally.
At this time, a direct descendant spoke, "What method do you plan to use to deal with this problem?"
"Haven't thought about it yet, do you have any suggestions?" Han Xiao turned his head and looked over.
"I think one of the reasons for the private spread of Ultimate Knowledge is that the association's charter is too loose and does not clearly restrict this behavior. I suggest improving the charter and severely punishing the spreaders..."
While the direct descendant was speaking, all the other normal association members tacitly shut their mouths and exchanged glances.
The interests of the direct descendants and the normal Super-A Grades were different. These were the two most clearly defined factions. As the three major civilizations became increasingly dissatisfied with the behavior of the Super-A Grade Association, the differences between the two factions became larger and larger. More than once, people had secretly suggested that Han Xiao kick the direct descendants out of the association.
Han Xiao listened to the direct descendant's speech for a while, then suddenly interrupted the other party and said with a chuckle:
"These suggestions are all good, I will consider them carefully. Let's leave this topic for the next regular meeting. After all, today is a welcoming party, don't get the priorities wrong."
He lightly skipped over this topic, his tone meaningful.
The direct descendant Super-A Grade choked, hearing Han Xiao's implicit warning, and had to sit down sullenly.
The other Super-A Grade members were refreshed... Distinguishing the priorities, wasn't that saying who was the owner of the association, a disguised warning to the direct descendants not to think that the three major civilizations could give them orders.
With Han Xiao's subtle reply, many people relaxed a little, because Black Star had a close relationship with the three major civilizations, and some people were always uneasy, fearing that Black Star would change the tough approach of the Machinery Nation and compromise with the three major civilizations.
Seeing this, Kesuye chimed in to smooth things over, "The president is right, we are gathered here today to welcome the newcomers, don't talk about serious matters."
Hearing this, the atmosphere became cheerful again. Everyone tacitly shifted the topic and speculated about the identity of the newcomer, and some people even started a gambling game out of boredom.
After arguing for a while, someone approached Han Xiao again and asked jokingly:
"President, the newcomer joining the association this time should be Maéll, right? It can't be that the Black Star Army has another new Super-A Grade cadre, right?"
Han Xiao raised his eyebrows, with a half-smile:
"I can only say... this newcomer is definitely someone everyone knows."
Everyone chatted and waited, and after a while, everyone finally arrived.
Seeing this, Han Xiao raised his hand, beckoned everyone to be quiet, and said with a smile:
"It's almost time, the welcoming party can begin, everyone be quiet and prepare to welcome the newcomer."
Hearing this, everyone quieted down and turned their heads in unison, looking at the side door of the venue. According to convention, the newcomer would come out from here.
Before long, the side door was finally pushed open, and Maéll walked out, appearing in front of everyone.
A low murmur of discussion immediately sounded in the arena.
"Sure enough, it's Maéll, I knew it was him."
"Haha, I guessed right, don't go back on your word, you have to pay up when you lose the bet."
"Huh, why does he look so strange?"
Everyone looked at Maéll and soon noticed the abnormality. Maéll's face was dull, as if his soul was wandering, motionless, giving the feeling that he didn't take everyone seriously at all.
"What does this guy mean by standing there and not coming over?"
"Why doesn't he say a word, is he a mute?"
Everyone only felt inexplicable.
However, at this moment, another figure walked out from behind the door, followed by the second and third... soon, dozens of people filed out, pushing Maéll to the side.
"W-What's going on? Isn't this a welcoming party?"
Everyone present was stunned and at a loss.
At this time, Han Xiao smiled and slowly opened his mouth:
"No need to be surprised, these people are all the newcomers joining the association this time. Everyone, please welcome them to join."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was dumbfounded, with an expression of "Are you f*cking kidding me?", Even the direct descendants of the three major civilizations who were silently watching widened their eyes and were shocked.
There was no prior notification, they thought it was a normal welcoming party today, but they didn't expect such an unexpected situation.
Every welcoming party is held specifically for one person. When have so many newcomers been accepted all at once?
And when did so many new Super-A Grades appear in the universe? This number is almost one-third of the association! It's simply impossible!
Could it be that today is some kind of festival, so the president is deliberately teasing them?
It must be so!
Everyone flashed this thought and subconsciously looked at the dozens of "newcomers", suddenly their bodies shook.
"Wait, these people look familiar!"
"They are... the First Batch of Provers?!"
"How is that possible, how many years have the First Batch of Provers been dead, they must be deliberately pretending to be like this!"
"Hey, it's exactly the same, the disguise technology is too good!"
Everyone hurriedly searched the internet for information on the First Batch of Provers, and matched them one by one with the Resurrected present, and couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
Manison frowned and looked at Han Xiao, and asked in a deep voice: "What do you mean by this, deliberately finding a group of people to pretend to be the First Batch of Provers, and wanting them to join the association, what nonsense are you doing?!"
"You also think it's fake?"
Han Xiao glanced at him, not surprised, after all, in the eyes of people who didn't know the truth, this kind of thing was too incredible, anyone would have to doubt it.
He slowly stood up, looked around the room, the corners of his mouth gradually widened, and said decisively:
"I know everyone has doubts, but the group of people you see, they are the Super-A Grades who existed in history, rising from the grave of time, brushing off the historical dust on their bodies, resurrected from the dead, and finally decided to join the association to shine for the entire Super-A class!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the room suddenly became silent enough to hear a pin drop.
All the Super-A Grades present were stunned, with an expression of "Are you f*cking kidding me?"
Only one person was an exception, Kesuye was so excited that his whole body was shaking. He was another insider of the Sanctuary Revival and immediately thought of it.
Could this be the result of Black Star's disappearance for four months?!
"...Tell me, is this real?" Kesuye turned his head and stared at Han Xiao, eagerly wanting to know the answer, fearing that this was just a joke.
Han Xiao returned a knowing look and slowly opened his mouth:
"I guarantee it with my reputation, I'm not joking with anyone today!"
In that instant, joy, shock, admiration, and other emotions exploded in Kesuye's heart!
At this moment, there was only one thought left in his heart...
Black Star... he succeeded!!
At this moment, the leader, Bagel, chuckled, stepped forward, and said lightly, facing everyone's suspicious eyes:
"Youngsters, the era... has changed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of Super-A Grade powers soared into the sky, this time without any reservations!
Boom!!
With a loud noise, the ceiling of the entire venue was suddenly blown off, and the ground and walls cracked inch by inch!
The huge pressure suddenly swept across the entire planet. At that moment, all living beings on Feyn Star were almost simultaneously crushed to the ground, and ear-piercing alarms resounded through the sky!
The Super-A Grades present were all remote projections and could not feel the impact on the spot, but each of them had offices on Feyn Star.
Almost at the same time, everyone received emergency detection reports from the offices. Every radar detection screen showed dozens of Super-A Grade energy sources, marking the targets as these dozens of people! There was no better evidence than this!
At this moment, all the members present changed their faces dramatically, in disbelief, and horrified.
This is actually true? The First Batch of Provers are really alive?!
How is that possible!
Everyone was dumbfounded!
An irresistible impact instantly shattered their worldviews, leaving only endless confusion.
At this moment, almost no words could describe the horror in their hearts.
Even Manison was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly turned his head and stared at Han Xiao.
"What exactly did you do? How were they revived?!"
Everyone suddenly woke up from their dreams, and countless shocked eyes fell on Han Xiao.
These resurrected people were introduced into the association by Black Star, so he must have something to do with it. He must know all the inside information!
"Black Star, what exactly is going on?!"
"Answer us quickly!"
"Say something!"
One after another, people couldn't wait to know the answer, and the crowd was excited.
Looking at the excited crowd, Han Xiao smiled and slowly opened his mouth, finally revealing his true intentions:
"In this world, there is a special informational phenomenon called 'Sanctuary Revival'. As long as you step into Super-A Grade, you can leave a record. Even if you die unexpectedly, without leaving even a shred of debris, others can trigger this phenomenon to revive you.
This opportunity is only once, which is equivalent to giving all Super-A Grades a second life... and I am using this phenomenon to revive them from the grave of history!"
After receiving the affirmative answer, everyone was stunned.
Immediately afterward, shock and ecstasy exploded in everyone's minds!
There is actually such a wonderful phenomenon in the universe that specifically affects Super-A Grades? Could it be another cosmic wonder!
Everyone realized that this was good news for the entire Super-A class!
If they had heard of this kind of thing rashly, most people would have dismissed it and basically wouldn't have believed it, but now there were living examples in front of them, which had proved that what Han Xiao said was true.
The next second, everyone's eyes looking at Han Xiao changed.
Black Star has revived so many of the First Batch of Provers, which means that he has mastered the method of using it. He explained the mechanism, but did not explain the method of Sanctuary Revival, so for now, Black Star is probably the only channel for them to enjoy "Sanctuary Revival"?!
Thinking about it from another perspective, Black Star has only been the president for about half a year. According to common sense, he may have already mastered the means of Sanctuary Revival. If he hadn't become the president, he might have kept it a secret all along...
At this moment, everyone felt that choosing Black Star as the president was simply the wisest decision!
Han Xiao glanced at everyone and saw the expressions on everyone's faces, and smiled lightly:
"Now that everyone no longer has doubts, then don't forget the theme of today's welcoming party..."
As he spoke, Han Xiao raised his hand, and the seats at the round table began to adjust, and a row of new seats stretched out from the ground, which were reserved for the resurrected, and then he took the lead in applauding.
"Everyone, join me in welcoming the return of the old era."
